Places of the Bible
Adummim
The red ones, a place apparently on the road between Jericho and Jerusalem, “on the south side of the torrent” Wady Kelt, looking toward Gilgal, mentioned [Josh. 15:7](/josh#Josh.15.7); [18:17](/josh#Josh.18.17). It was nearly half-way between Jerusalem and Jericho, and now bears the name of Tal-at-ed-Dumm. It is supposed to have been the place referred to in the parable of the Good Samaritan ([Luke 10:30-37](/luke#Luke.10.30)). Recently a new carriage-road has been completed, and carriages for the first time have come along this road from Jerusalem.
